On my system, /service and /command are each 4k since they only contain
links. /package is 1.8M.
Check yours from a terminal (as root) with:
#du -h /command
#du -h /service
#du -h /package
These directories belong to the DJB series of packages, so if you are not
using tinydns, you can remove them, but you will be saving very little space.
